Stabilization of Mine Waste Dumps Through Bio-Engineering
A continual increase in the quantity of wastes produced make stabilization of waste dumps a formidable task both from economic and technological standpoints. Of late, bio-engineering approach has been emerging as one of the most, affordable, eco-friendly, efficient and widely used methods of stabilizing such waste dumps. This study enumerates various plant species that can be used to reinforce coal mine waste dumps, the factors that affect the choice, and the techniques used to measure their effectiveness as a bio-engineering tool. The outcome of this work can be used for the selection of suitable plant species that would ensure long-term maintenance of the ecosystem as well as mechanical stability of the dumps. Locally available native species that are likely to blend in with the surroundings and adapt quickly to the climate have been suggested for the vegetation of sterile dumps. The Miyawaki plantation approach is recommended as it promotes higher survival, aids in ecological restoration, and improves the mechanical stability of the dump slope.
